Summer is my favorite. I love heat. I love the feel of sun on my skin. I love swimming. I love flip flops and ice cream and sundresses and lemonade. I love summer.
My kids are still about a week away from Summer vacation but we are eagerly counting down the days and I’m predictably planning ahead for our long days together.
Between our love of books, general interest in continuing to raise readers, and my daughter’s struggles with reading – keeping them in books and doing children’s book inspired activities is high on my list.
